Private search engine Mojeek, one of Reclaim The Net’s recommended search engines, has announced the launch of its new algorithm that integrates a semantic element into its search engine. This update, which has undergone extensive building and user testing phases, is now live and set to revolutionize how queries are matched to relevant pages.
